The Wall of Love  by beverley365

The Wall of Love

the I Love You Wall - is a love-themed wall of 40 square metres (430 sq ft) in the Jehan Rictus garden square in Montmartre, Paris, France. The wall was created in 2000 by artists Fédéric Baron and Claire Kito.
612 tiles of enamelled lava, on which the phrase 'I love you' is featured 311 times in 250 languages.
All major languages, but also rarer ones like Navajo, Inuit, Bambara and Esperanto.

The red splashes on the wall symbolize parts of a broken heart and can be gathered to form a full heart… aaaah

This is just up the hill to where my son works
even though it’s temporarily closed it was swamped with people looking for their language.

It’s the prettiest area to walk around with classical music in the coffee shops.
What a great find

Thanks Beverley, although I've seen this a number of times I didn't know all that detail. Good to know.

A lovely idea. I'll have to see it now that I've been tempted by the photo.

I missed this when I was in Montmarte definitely later than the year 2000. Love! What is love? Couples separate a few months after they are married, friends who are friends for name only, countries at war! Sounds too general because many humans are not like that but pity that some are, isn't it?

Yes, what the world needs now

@boxplayer hello 😃 I wanted share this -
You can use the 333 rule for anxiety in the moment something triggers you. Just look around to identify 3 objects and 3 sounds, then move 3 body parts. Many people find this strategy helps focus and ground them when anxiety seems overwhelming. The 333 rule is a common and informal technique. I used this at work regularly I think I use it as a bit of a habit… It grounds me. ( when I’ve done in my mind I tell myself ‘you are fabulous’
